Anderson (1990) uses the apt term "old heads" to typify those long-term residents who were in the urban center before gentrification, and who have been able to remain on, despite an

Washington Heights is a unique and ever changing neighborhood at the mezzo-level, but affects the macro and micro. It located in upper Manhattan that is north of Harlem and south of Inwood. Begins on 115th street, it is typically thought to end around Hillside Avenue. This neighborhood has the Hudson River on the west and the Harlem River to the east. New York City’s Community Planning has designated Washington Heights and Inwood as Manhattan Community District 12. These two communities are similar in their ethnic populations, make up the tip of the borough of Manhattan, and are often assessed by the government as one district. The 2003 New York City Community Health Profile reported that 270,677 people living in District 12 and “one in two

The economic boundaries for the southern part of Oklahoma City can run the gambit from residents below poverty level to those that would be considered to be upper-class in their monetary value. There are neighborhoods that many would not feel comfortable after dark because there has been a rise in crime to those areas. The zoning of these homes are single story, quarter acre lots that are approximately one thousand to fifteen hundred square feet. These impoverished areas have small, older homes that are two to three bedroom homes that are unkempt and, at times, are cockroach infested. The houses are built closely side by side and do not have much open space throughout the neighborhood. Most of these homes show signs of decay related to the amount of repairs that need to be made to the home. Many of the residents are renting and cannot afford to make the necessary repairs or have landlords that are unwilling to comply with the safety of their occupants. The stores in the south part of Oklahoma City are ones that cater to a lower income, such as, Payday loans, Buy For Less, Ross, Payless shoes, Wal Mart, etc.

Total government spending more than doubled during the 50s, and surplus increased twelvefold. (Document H) To fight fears of depression, they enacted Public Law 627 and launched the National System of Interstate and Defense Highways. (Document D) These revolutionary pieces of legislation brought about jobs by constructing 40000 miles of road, joining hundreds of American cities.

As governor, Wendell Ford created a budget surplus by passing a severance tax on coal, a two-cent-per-gallon tax on gasoline, and an increase in the corporate tax rate. He used this surplus to remove the state sales tax on food, implement several construction projects, sharply increase funding for higher education, and local public schools. With the large budget surplus, Ford proposed several construction projects and sharply increased funding for higher education, the public schools, and human resources (Regional Training Center). By reorganizing and combining several executive departments, he created “super cabinets,” Ford saving the state more money and making the state government more

This chapter in our nation's history begins on May 18th of 1933, the day when President Roosevelt signed the Tennessee Valley Authority Act. The purpose of this act was to fix one of the many socioeconomic problems found during the times of the Great Depression, and helping the entire Tennessee Valley region would essentially help a greater portion of the American Society (1). To do this, a central authority was created within this region that focused on the usage and development of resources within the entire area. The overall goal of this authority was to improve agriculture, industry, methods to protect against flooding, and the quality of life throughout the Tennessee Valley. What was created by this act quickly brought this change to

While the Federal-Aid Highway act of 1956 created the U.S. Interstate system and brought a nation together, the Federal-Aid Highway act of 1973 would later create division in federal and state political parties over future funding concerns. In the short run, President Nixon considered this act as a positive step for transportation and the economy. However, in the long run, this act led to the eroding of HTF’s, leaving both state and federal government debating over how to proceed in funding a transportation infrastructure that is at present time slowly crumbling. Political differences between federal and state agencies have brought the modernization process of the transportation infrastructure to a snail’s pace. In addition, the lengthy

The Metropolitan area of Youngstown- Warren- Boardman has been a declining area over the last few decades, and hope is not near. The situation of this city is unbelievable, with poverty just seeping at the seams. The city is struggling with low education, job scarcity, and crime. People are fleeing in hopes of finding work, leaving the population to decrease. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Youngstown Ohio is the only city to lose more than two percent of its population in two years. People are scared, depressed, and finding dangerous ways to cope with the reality of the city they are living in. The Metropolitan area of Youngstown-Warren-Boardman is on a fast decline due to the impoverished living conditions these people face daily.

Starting from the bottom, the population pyramid shows that there is a large population of kids under the age of 15 in this area code. Population drops at ages 15 to 19 and continues to drop at ages 20 to 24. There is a big increase in population in ages 25 to 29, where the pyramid seems to poke out the greatest compared to the ages above and below it. There is a big bulge around ages 45 to 59 and the population slowly decreases after that.

In the midst of  Cold War, under threat of a nuclear attack, the United States government was looking for a way to increase the speed of transporting military personnel,  resources, and people quickly across the US in a dynamic fashion. The Interstate highway was the most effective plan that was spawned as it could be easily repaired in the event of the nuclear attack, and it would regionally connect the entire nation. Although the Federal Aid Highway Act of 1956 was a costly federal spending program burdened with exorbitant maintenance costs,the construction of the Interstate Highway system proved to advance the nation economically with the facilitation of interstate transportation of goods allowing faster trade at lower costs, socially the

Despite the tremendous economic success in Texas and its overall well-being, the state continues to face its nonstandard set of challenges that must be addressed immediately. Certainly, the most pressing issue is a deteriorating transportation infrastructure, which requires innovation, long-range planning and, of course, investment (Button & Reggiani, 2011). The following study focuses on the deteriorating transportation infrastructure as a major issue facing the state of Texas. The report will also discuss the positions of two major Texas political parties (Republican and Democratic) on the issue. It further explains the ways of their addressing it. Next, it will discuss the overall goals, the position, the level of lobbying and the

The 70806 of Baton Rouge, LA consists of a diverse community of college students, low income and middle class income areas. Driving through the community reveals income inequality, poverty and opulence, homelessness and extravagant houses, healthy youth and elderly sick individuals. It was a challenge to assess the 70806 due to the great diversity but a much greater challenge to come up with viable.

Prior to the country’s poorly funded health system, repairs could not afforded. Because the Commission had little money to spend on roads or telecommunications, many rural residents were isolated from other communities. Luck sparked when the establishment of foreign bases provided the Government with a great amount of wealth, which was used to improve social services. Health care, education, transportation, communication, and other fields were upgraded. Standards of living improved , styles of dress changed, new friendships and the introduction of American radio and other forms of entertainment.
